Title: Coulometric titrator
IPC: G01N27/44
Filed: 1973-05-21
Abstract: 1426206 Coulometric titration apparatus BRITISH PETROLEUM CO Ltd 8 May 1974 [21 May 1973] 24066/73 Heading G1N In a coulometric titration apparatus with  electrolytic generation of titrant, the titration  current comprises pulses containing a constant amount of electricity in addition to a uniform supplementary current and the supplementary  current is a function of the impurity level in the apparatus prior to titration, when the apparatus is maintained in the end-point condition. One of the generating electrodes is preferably housed in a reagent containing compartment of the reaction cell separated from the remainder of the electrolyte by a porous or sintered glass partition. The apparatus is preferably used for the determination of water in organic substances using the Karl Fischer method and the current pulses are counted in an electro-mechanical counter as a measure of the water content.  When water is present, the voltage between a pair of measuring electrodes is high. This voltage is amplified at Al, and fed to non linearly connected meter M and to comparator A 2  where it is compared with the end-point value. The resulting error signal is fed via potentiometer W to an output for an analogue recorder. It is also fed to voltage to frequency converter X, and then via isolating transformer Y to constant width pulse generator Z. These pulses switch constant current generator T, controlled by amplifier A3 to supply current pulses to the generating electrodes. The error voltage is also fed to the supplementary current control circuit via LEDs P and photo diodes Q. Between titrations switch S is closed and the voltage at the output of integrator A4, R C builds up until enough generating current is being supplied via T2 or T3 to maintain the apparatus at the titration end-point i.e. to compensate for impurities. During titration, switch S is opened, but this supplementary current is maintained because capacitor C has a very high discharge time.

Title: Improvements in or relating to improved methods and machines for the manufacture of bags having crossed ends
IPC: B31B70/00
Filed: 1930-08-12
Abstract: 361,318. Making paper bags. ANDREAS, A., 3, Engelstrasse, M³nster, Westphalia, Germany. Aug. 12, 1930, No. 24168. Convention date, Aug. 12, 1929. [Class 94 (ii).] In a tubular bag blank having end portions spread oppositely from a preliminary transverse fold line, in which a crossed end is produced by making two fold-inducing creases, one in each end portion, parallel to the transverse line and spaced therefrom to form two end flaps, one in each end portion, which are folded about the creases to lie flat and are so retained by adhesive, a reinforcing strip of material is applied to the folded end flaps. The blank may comprise several plies of paper and one end of the bag be formed to provide a filling valve. Tubular blanks, with their ends opened out as shown in Fig. 6 and the opened-out portion facing downwards, are placed on a table 1, Fig. 1, and fed sideways by arms 3 past feed rollers 4 and gumming rollers 5, 6 to creasing rollers 9, 10. The rollers 9 have an annular groove adapted to cooperate with an annular ridge on the rollers 10 to crease the blanks along the lines 84 and provide at each end two flaps 85, 86 of sufficient width to overlap when folded under by folders 13 and pressed down by bars 15 which reciprocate at right-angles to the path of the blank. A U-shaped member 16 retains the closed flaps. The ends of the bag are sealed by strips 90, Fig. 10, material for which is drawn from a roll 19, severed into pieces of the desired length by rotary cutters 23 and accelerated in speed by rollers 21,22 before reaching rollers 26 adapted to apply gum &c. to the undersurface thereof. A U-shaped guide 24 directs the gummed strip to pressing rollers 18 which unite it with the closed end of the bag and the sealed end is pressed by rollers 28 which may be heated. If a valve is to be formed in the bag end, the apparatus shown in Fig. 2 is used. Strips of greater length are cut from a web roll 30 by cutters 23 and the severed strip is gummed by a roller 33 as it moves along guide bars 31 till arrested by a stop 37 on a sliding table. 35. Suction means retain the strip on the table, which moves upward, until similar means on the underside of a former table 43 grip it and hold it with one end depending on the guide 31 and the other pressed against the opened end of the bag tube between the flaps 85, 86. The folding bars 15 now close the flaps down on to the strip and a folder 42 folds the outer portion over on to the closed flaps providing a valve. If no bag is fed to the machine, a spring 50, adapted to be raised by the bag, contacts with a member 49, and when a contact piece 52 on the shaft of the roller 10 bridges two contacts 53, 54, an electric circuit is completed which renders ineffective the operation of the cutting rollers 23 and so stops the feed of the strip. The apparatuses shown in Figs. 1 and 2 may be combined in a single machine to form bags with a valve at one end.

Title: Improvements in the manufacture and treatment of artificial filamentary materials
Inventor: BROWN RUSSELL JACQUES
IPC: D01D5/06
Filed: 1953-09-02
Abstract: <PICT:0787556/IV (a)/1> In the wet-spinning of artificial filaments wherein the filaments are spun upwardly into a narrow tube through which coagulating liquid flows, adherent liquid is wiped from the filaments shortly after they leave the tube and the liquid so removed is directed clear of the upper end of the tube.  This is preferably done by passing the filaments through an inverted funnel, the wiped liquid dripping from the base of the funnel clear of the tube.  As shown, the spinning jet 2 is located in a coagulating bath 1 supplied with coagulating liquid through pipe 4 and gauze 6, which prevents turbulence.  Coagulating liquid passes up the setting tube 7, which may be of uniform section or its diameter may decrease in one or more stages.  The filaments are drawn up the setting tube and stretched by godet 13, which is preferably fluted, and pass round skew-rollers 19 which dip into a washing bath.  Excess liquid is removed from the filaments by a pigtail guide 12 and is guided by inverted funnel 10 into a collector head 8, clear of the open end of tube 7.  The funnel stem 11 may have a hole small enough to wipe off some of the adherent liquid, but the filaments preferably pass through the funnel stem with a small clearance.  The invention is of particular use in the extrusion of acetone solutions of cellulose acetate into aqueous solutions of diethylene glycol diacetate or of acetone, but may also be used in other wet-spinning processes, e.g. in the wet-spinning of acetic acid solutions of cellulose acetate, using as coagulant aqueous acetic acid containing a high concentration of a salt such as an alkali metal acetate.
